• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Welcome to the forum! Introduce yourself here!

How'd you run into George? Pismo Beach is pretty far from Santa Ana!
 
Hello

I would just like to introduce myself and say hello to everyone. I am new to Supermoto but not new to motocross or street bikes. I have a new 07 SMR510. Trying to get to know this bike and make it as good as it can be. Looking for popular mods and fixes for stock problems. I have already learned quite a bit from just reading through the forum. Thanks. I look forward to my membership.

Hi all!
Finally, after 7 years without a 360cc, I bought a '96 2 weeks ago. I live in Sweden, ride street and enduro. Likes husky! :) Too bad parts seems more and more difficult to find. I'd love to have a workshop manual but they seem impossible to find. I rebuild the engine with new gaskets, bearings and soon new piston (thinking about order a Wossner from Husqvarna Outlet) and powder coated frame, pegs, kickstand. Had a workshop TIG-weld some engine block cracks. Fitted new swing arm bearings and replaced some rusty bolts here and there. Soon, this bike will be perfect :)

Future plans:
1999 plastics, decal and seat cover (anyone know where I can get it?)
Slim line rear light

Hi everyone!

My name is Arthur & I ride a 650 V-strom. I am considering a new TE610 & joined to gather info on the bike :D
 
Welcome Arthur! I had a BMW Dakar that I thought was a pretty capable bike in the dirt.

Everything I've read about the Strom says it's a little more street oriented than the Dakar.

the 610 is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the Dakar on dirt. Not quite as comfy on the street, but perfectly passable. And I think the stuff I don;t like can be fixed. If I was driving from CA to Florida on highways, with an occasional gravel road I'd want a stom or a GS.

If I was doing the TAT and an occasional rabbit trail, then the 610.

I wanna go to Baja and beyond, the 610 is ideal I think.
 
Hi everyone,

I'm Elek from Hungary and until May I had a SM 610. Now I'm waiting for my SMR 510, which will be build up by husqvarna-racing.hu ... Can't wait to go for the first ride.
 
Husky Heroe promo

Greg here, huskynext, also with the first post, better late then never. Anybody heard about an update to the Husky Heroes cash incentive program and whether or not they extended after 7/1? Had to buy a new FLT this year and it slowed down my 310 purchase. Glad to be here.
 
Hey all

G'day all,

I thought i'd better do the right thing a introduce myself.

I'm Stossy (Chris) I live in Melbourne, Australia

I have been a Husky rider a 5 yrs now, I had a 2004 TE250 with a Athena 300 kit in it. Still manage to ride the pants off it so i sold it & just picked up a 2009 TE 450 now, maybe this will teach me not to be so hard on bikes:lol:

Great info on here Coffee, I was stoked to read about the little cable tie around the fuel pump tip..

Cheers all

Hello, Arthur/6Ten! Lots of 610 riders here that can tell you about the 610's strengths and weaknesses. I ride an SV650 every day and have done a fair amount of dirt miles on it (it's filled in on a few dualsport rides in its day ;)) and I can tell you my SM610 is way more fun in the dirt, yet just as capable on the highway. Good luck in your search!

We're glad you're here, Foxhunter :applause: If all I did was supermoto I'd have a 510 for sure instead of my SM610. Please be sure to post up some pictures of the 510 when you get it :thumbsup:

Really great site. I am from Alabama and I just bought my first Husky, 74 CR 250 Mag. Also have 76 Yamaha YZ 125x and 08 Yamaha YZ250f. Saw my first Vintage race last month and will probably find time to join them.
 
Hello from Cambridge Ontario Canada!

I ride a 2007 TE450 and my wife rides a 2008 TE250. We mostly ride local but have done 3 trips to Hatfield McCoy in West Virginia and are doing a trip to northern Michigan in a few weeks.

I'm planing on hanging out here and learning about places to ride and some tips for working on our bikes.
